July 1989, in a sleepy Michigan town, high school grad Nina Laramie heads out with her friends and is never seen alive again. Months later, her skeleton is found near a remote party spot in the forest.

The ME determines Nina has been brutally raped and bludgeoned to death. Fear and anger ripple through this tight-knit community when the case goes cold.

Thirty years later, Riley St. James, a Detroit PD assigned to Nina’s case, is determined to get her first big cold case win despite having a similar past to the victim. Relying on her investigative prowess and gut instinct, Riley tracks down a witness who saw Nina Laramie’s murder. But as the truth comes to light, Riley must face the killers who want their secret to stay in the Hole in the Woods.

Hole in the Woods is based on the 1989 true-life murder case of Shannon Siders of Newaygo County, Michigan. After the case went dormant, a Michigan cold case team formed in 2011 and uncovered new evidence that enabled them to arrest, try, and convict the killers, who were sent to prison for Shannon’s murder in 2015.

So, the story was great, and most of the voices were good too. One of the voices sounded condescending and annoyed to be reading, it kinda threw me off a bit. Overall great story, and the fact that a portion goes to cold cases is 5 stars from this mama bear.

This was an amazing story based on a true story… twists and turns… it flowed like a river, smooth with a fast current. The performance was spot on. I didn’t want to put it down or shut it off I should say

Amazing

With the use of multiple voice actors I didn't know how it would effect the overall story but it ended up giving a lot of depth. I really liked too, that the book is based on a true cold case which the author speaks about in the end. Also, no one has to be worried about any animals dying :)

Really cool!

I loved this book. The way the author portrayed the victim was perfection. I enjoyed her character development and prologues and epilogue. Will definitely read more from this author.

Beautiful book!

The concision, realism, and development of characters was prefect for focusing on the purpose of the story which of course was to solve an apparently unsolvable cold case.

The story and narration made it hard to stop listening.
